Random Structures: from the Discrete to the Continuous

LMS Research School on Probability at the University of Bath

1-5 July 2019

The push to understand the behaviour of continuous scaling limits arising from discrete random structures is a major ongoing development in probability theory. This research school will give PhD students in probability the opportunity to meet and learn from international experts at the forefront of this exciting and fast moving field.

Plenary talks

Prof. Alison Etheridge (University of Oxford)
Prof. Christina Goldschmidt (University of Oxford)
Prof. Lorenzo Zambotti (Sorbonne Université, Paris)
